I have probably watched this 50 times, and it’s still funny. The concept is pure genius-a critical part of a hockey team’s success is chirping, but they are completely frustrated by a tidal wave of incomprehensible Newfoundland slang. The execution is brilliant. I love how the players get wistfully emotional at the mere mention of “Newfoundland,” even though it is used with complete contempt and hostility. Brilliant idea, and brilliant writing.
@@davidmurphy1440 It's a direct reference to the q interview keeso had, where he explained the slang and the host would give the newfie equivalent. So good. I just wish they mentioned lazer lettuce here.
Honestly how could you be mad at their chirping? I have no clue what they said and they were talking very calming manner. I never would have taken what they said as offensive it a separate language with no real meaning without a translation. I thought they were being nice the whole time and the letterkenny team were mad for no reason.
I once had to deal poker to a table full of the Newfoundland curling team, who were attending The Brier in Calgary. They chatted amongst themselves for the entire 45 minutes that I was there. Later, I went to deal a table where almost everyone was Chinese, and I remember thinking how nice it was to once again have a chance at understanding the table conversation.
This is so brilliantly meta. Everyone's talking about how difficult the dialog is to understand in Letterkenny, so they just go even harder and bring Newfies in.
@@RD-zx6py no its not at all. I'm a newf and no one thinks it's a slur. it's what we call ourselves. we call ourselves newfs before we will call ourselves Canadian actually, we are a different brew than the rest of Canada. the only people who think we are offended by it are those who were never here and have never met a newf. those who are offended for others. if someone asked me if i was a newf or called me a newf i would be excited to tell them yes. offence wouldn't even come to mind.

My Mom was a Newfoundlander. Moved to Boston in 1943. All her relatives are still in St John's and Hodges Cove. Her sister came to visit in 1980 and for three days my mom had to act as an interpreter. Eventually I started to understand. I think its great that they speak differently than the rest of Canada. Makes them special!!!
Not only do we speak different, when you drive across the island, the accent changes every 10 minutes. The east coast is very different from the west coast, and all in between changes as well. There’s many dialects, and slang terms in each town that sometimes other newfies are surprised to hear a slang they’ve never heard, depending on where whoever says the term is from.
Daynan lol, no, it describes that sort of day when it’s drizzling, foggy, overcast, all those dampish words, and you just feel like being lazy. Maybe curling up with a book, or taking a nap.
As a Newfoundlander, I can vouch for the accuracy of this bit. Just a TAD too slow lol. BUT that is Terry Ryan, former Montreal Canadien and from my home town of Mount Pearl ;)
I've watched Letterkenny since the Problems days. Found it, loved it, followed it into the first season of Crave and everywhere since. This is arguably my favorite bit in the whole show. Tommy and Teddy need more screen time.
Unfortunately he wasn't drafted to be a fighter.He was a 1rst rd pick by the habs because they thought he'd be a good offensive player.He scored over 100 points one season while playing in the WHL during his junior major career.But when he got to the NHL he played his gritty feisty style of play abit to much,showed attitude towards management when they told him to focus more on his offense and only ended up playing 8 regular season games for the habs with no points whatsoever,picked up 36 penalty minutes in those 8 gp.He scored in the preseason but that don't count,never made a playoff appearance either.
Even though he was considered a draft bust & a "1rst rd nothing"-his words not mine,as a newfie I gotta say I'm proud of him for what he's accomplished in his career & damn could he ever fight,fought some of the toughest guys in the league.Would of made a solid bottom six forward and grinder,someone who could add grit and energy to the team & also protect whatever stars/linemates he was playing with as an enforcer.He deserved more then 8 games in the show that's for sure.
A lot of it sounds very Irish to me. I actually learned English in Newfoundland, but we moved to Toronto when I was 7 years old so I guess it got unlearned out of me. I always wonder if any of my English has remnants of Newfie, but watching this made me conclude that no, it does not lol. I hardly understood a word of that
I'm from Newfoundland and this is absolutely spot on, someone else mentioned how we will roast ya but in a polite manner. That's a big ten four. This is brilliant and hilarious. It's 1:30 am here, people are in bed and I had to hold in my laughter. My stomach hurts 😂
Thing is, I actually got to meet some old folks while in newfoundland (My godfather's parents), and they were utterly indecipherable. It was crazy, their words, phrases and accent were so thick you couldn't hear a word they said, but somehow at the end you understood the jist of what they meant. Like having all the knowledge of an alien language implanted into your brain at once, then listening to a conversation and having to translate it back to your own language in your head in real time.
I think that one of the most Amazing Things about this show, is the continual amount of comedic talent that gets cast. It's not just the same 10 - 12 actors/actresses... So many people get to contribute, it's like... Where are they getting all these people, who can deliver so much Funny !!
The one guy (the guy on the right missing the tooth) is Terry Ryan. He is a former NHL player from Newfoundland so I don't even think he is acting haha.
Shoresy: "Jesus Christ, guys. Give your balls a tug. It can't be that hard to chirp these..." "Ah, look at dis sook 'ere wit da black's night visor. Ya eh blind or wadda ya'at b'y?" Shoresy: ????
Many years ago I ran a business unit for a manufacturing company. I oversaw a product assembly and paint-line operation. The assemblers were all Newfoundlanders and the Lead Hand was named Dwayne. The paint-line was staffed exclusively by Jamaicans and the Lead Hand was named Lenford.The paint-line and the assembly departments were back to back and Dwyane and Lenford were in touch about parts and such all day long and had worked together for years. One day I was on the floor looking for Dwayne, as I passed Lenford I asked if he knew where he was. Without taking his eye off of what he was doing he said "No Mon I Don't Know Where He's To".
When I went to a summer camp in Ontario that drew from all over Canada there were a few Newfoundlanders in the group. For the first two weeks, since as a youngster I was a bit too shy to talk to her, I thought the Newfoundland girl in my group was named Macca and she was from a town called Snatteny. Once I got the nerve to talk to her I found out her name was actually MONICA and she was from SAINT ANTHONY. That's the Newfoundland accent for you.
In 2010 I used to work on the Wuskwatim power dam, and every province was represented there. What you just witnessed... is so frikkin' true! I was one of the few quebecer who spoke decent english and I had to relay what the superintendents said, and that was my toughest linguistic challenge ever. Had the best of times though. I miss the old gang from Noo Fun-lun!
Waaaay too many comments saying they understood nothing so, as a Newfie, here's a rough translation in chronological order - play it again while reading this for reference :) - What r' yat - what are you doing - Skeet / "sook" = skid / "suck" - Mauzy on the rules - Fuzzy or in context, lenient, on the rules - Who knit ya? - Who are your parents? (In context, your heritage) - "Some crooked / right rotted" - very upset - Fousty group of CFA's - Angry group of Come From Aways - Come From Aways - Anyone not from Newfoundland is "from away" (Sidenote Come From Away is an incredible broadway musical about 9/11 and Gander, Newfoundland's hospitality) - All hands crooked / right rotted - Everyone angry/fighting - Thought we'd have a time but the arse is falling right out of her - (In context), Thought we'd have fun but conversation is gone to shit - Long may your big gib draw - a line you say getting screeched in (becoming an honorary Newfoundlander) meaning well wishes / future prosperities - All hands throwing hands (/donnybrook) - group fight / bench brawl - Fire up a scoff - have a big meal - Gutfounded - starving - Scoffs til we're stogged - Eat til we're stuffed Best I goes on from this conversation... hopefully this helped. (The Closed Captions were WAY off in most areas.... Good shit though.) Cheers by's ;)
Black guy from South Central, Los Angeles. Grateful for Letterkenny for introducing me to all kinds of Canadian culture I never knew existed. This scene was hilarious! I never knew folks from Newfoundland had their own dialect and it is amazing! For once I can grasp how our local slang must sound to outsiders. Newfies are alright😄🍻
Dude how!? Did you understand them? I thought the nuf team were talking to each other and the letterkenny team was the aggressors. Watched it 3 times still feel that way.
@@jamiesouthofboston2411 I studied classical music in Newfoundland CAN. That was passive, you ever hear two southies in a drunk fight, that's hard to understand m ;)
Obscure hockey fact about this scene: the second Newfie is Terry Ryan; 8th overall pick in the '95 NHL Entry Draft who played 8 games for the Montreal Canadiens.
My favorite part is how Fisky, known for statistics and clarity in his chirps, is just like “shut the... FU-“ Also Boomtown’s face after he can’t chirp.
The first Newfie I met had a really thick accent, and it legitimately took me like three or four days of speaking to him frequently to consistently understand what the fuck he was saying.
Terry Ryan is gonna be in the Shorsey spinoff, so you'll partially get your wish! He's a beauty! Lives down the road from me. His dad is the funniest guy you'll ever meet! Check out the chicklets episode where Biz comes here and visits him ;)
This is so close to perfect. Needed to be faster. It's literally our only skills, verbally beratting you with an onslaught of words you may or may not understand. Just needs a "mainlander" reference and it's perfect :P
@@zekeooo2 - though I did not know they had specific accents, Cape Breton was a guess. I visited NS in 2017 but didn't make it to CB. While in Truro I did meet 2 delightful women from Newfoundland who did sound a bit funny to my midwestern ears.
There's a beautiful stretch of road about 300 km long in Newfoundland called the Irish loop if you want to hear Irish accents take that trip stop and speak to the very fine folks along the way. love Newfoundland
@@Cybernetic800 Most of us have Irish roots. I have friends that went to Ireland and would be asked "what part of Ireland are ya from?" Some parts of NL have a very heavy Irish accent.
Reminds me of cha and miya.Cha and Miya were an irish comedy duo in the 70s and 80s ,who did sketches in the cork city accent and dialect and surprising they sounded a bit similar to these lads.
Catholic newfies tend to be Irish descended from the cork area, and Protestant newfies tend to english descended from the west country. Thier accents reflect it.
Seeing as my grand parents are Newfie. The first time i sat and listened to my grandpa, his cusion and my uncle get into a bottle of Crown abd after a few the full blown Newfie slang and accent came out, My reaction was the same as coaches at the end.. "HoLy Fuck!" 😆
We Newfoundlanders love a good conversation and conversion, teaching mainlanders how to speak our way. I have a friend in Seattle that speaks better Newfie than any Canadian I know from off the Rock lol. It's only right they get a shaggin hockey team ffs.
I'm so happy they put Teddie Hitchcock in Shoresey. Easily one of the best players. "Loyal to the soil, boys! Loyal to the Soil!!"
12 inch C**t ? 😂
Only thing he was missing was couple of martunis.
I knew the actor was TR but shit I just put that together. "Knows, Teddy, knows" Teddy is Ted Hitcock!
He's a real good guy
12 inch c#&t
"Stay where you're too, I'll come where you're at." Beautiful, damn near poetic.
Stay where ya at till I comes where ya to 😉
That's the way we talk in the Ottawa valley too.
As always, Pushing YT auto-generated Closed Captions to the breaking point.
hah, yeah, between the accent and dialect, the AI has no chance.
I re-watched it with the auto generated subtitles on and it did not disappoint
Truth.
Okay, I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one trying that.
I tried the closed captions after reading your post. Poor, poor closed captions. Didn't know what hit 'em.

best comment on here, it does justice more than any other iteration of newf dialog in any movie or show or whatnot. absolutely spot on.

Speed it up by 1.5x and it sounds more accurate
jesus fuck, your right...at 1.5X it is perfect
Fucking eh.
Also turn the volume ways the fuck up. The Newfies like to heard clearly.
Yes! I was wondering why it didn't sound quite right, and that's it exactly. No true newfie talks that slow.
Well they had to slow it down so the rest of us mainlanders could keep up.
I once had to deal poker to a table full of the Newfoundland curling team, who were attending The Brier in Calgary.

Kasper that first sentence is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever heard.
Worked in the oil sands. Newfies gather at the camp dining hall and chat for like 2 hours. Buncha pipefitters them bunch.
"Eyyyaaa"

I'm loving the other dude in Shoresy. That show is beautifully done.
When I went to a summer camp in Ontario that drew from all over Canada there were a few Newfoundlanders in the group. For the first two weeks, since as a youngster I was a bit too shy to talk to her, I thought the Newfoundland girl in my group was named Macca and she was from a town called Snatteny. Once I got the nerve to talk to her I found out her name was actually MONICA and she was from SAINT ANTHONY. That's the Newfoundland accent for you.
F
zedas , sounds similar for me when I hear people naming their city Twanno.
(That's how I hear Toronto.)
I from St. Anthony and can confirm that is the proper pronunciation
@@raidernewf8355 I from conche, that's a big ten four.
Snatteny or St. Anthony is like the Baltimore of Canada. If you can say it right, you belong :P
In 2010 I used to work on the Wuskwatim power dam, and every province was represented there. What you just witnessed... is so frikkin' true! I was one of the few quebecer who spoke decent english and I had to relay what the superintendents said, and that was my toughest linguistic challenge ever. Had the best of times though. I miss the old gang from Noo Fun-lun!
Waaaay too many comments saying they understood nothing so, as a Newfie, here's a rough translation in chronological order - play it again while reading this for reference :)
- What r' yat - what are you doing
- Skeet / "sook" = skid / "suck"
- Mauzy on the rules - Fuzzy or in context, lenient, on the rules
- Who knit ya? - Who are your parents? (In context, your heritage)
- "Some crooked / right rotted" - very upset
- Fousty group of CFA's - Angry group of Come From Aways
- Come From Aways - Anyone not from Newfoundland is "from away" (Sidenote Come From Away is an incredible broadway musical about 9/11 and Gander, Newfoundland's hospitality)
- All hands crooked / right rotted - Everyone angry/fighting
- Thought we'd have a time but the arse is falling right out of her - (In context), Thought we'd have fun but conversation is gone to shit
- Long may your big gib draw - a line you say getting screeched in (becoming an honorary Newfoundlander) meaning well wishes / future prosperities
- All hands throwing hands (/donnybrook) - group fight / bench brawl
- Fire up a scoff - have a big meal
- Gutfounded - starving
- Scoffs til we're stogged - Eat til we're stuffed
Best I goes on from this conversation... hopefully this helped.
(The Closed Captions were WAY off in most areas.... Good shit though.)
Cheers by's ;)
The only part I can't quite understand is "But first _____ deez skeets"..."Yes, first ____ deez sooks here now"
@@ryanfancey5622 But first, [we gotta take care of / beat] these guys.
@@MikeHoyles I got the meaning sorta (I'm also a Newf) but are they saying "shees"? I don't think I've heard the term before
@@ryanfancey5622 not familiar with "shees".
I thought it was just "skeets / sooks".
Skeet is a term for criminal low life type guys and a sook is someone who whines and complains a lot.
Black guy from South Central, Los Angeles. Grateful for Letterkenny for introducing me to all kinds of Canadian culture I never knew existed. This scene was hilarious! I never knew folks from Newfoundland had their own dialect and it is amazing! For once I can grasp how our local slang must sound to outsiders. Newfies are alright😄🍻
You were so caught up in the Newfie accent that you forgot about the coach's beautiful Ontario accent.
Imagine all the people who watches this video from recommendations and don't know whats happening. It's going to happen.
It's so awesome to have seen the interview introducing newfoundland slang and then seeing this clip where you can actually hear the phrases
One of the best back and forth chains ever.
Dude how!? Did you understand them?
I thought the nuf team were talking to each other and the letterkenny team was the aggressors. Watched it 3 times still feel that way.
@@jamiesouthofboston2411 I studied classical music in Newfoundland CAN. That was passive, you ever hear two southies in a drunk fight, that's hard to understand m ;)
@@commanderjank9060 I'm from southie. Can confirm.
We have our own language here its called mush. We use it everywhere to confuse non locals.
UA-cam Closed Caption system: [Confused Screaming]
I listen to this once a day like a fine song.
This episode reminded me exclusively of Jared's interview where he explains some slang
With Tom Power on Q, right?! Exactly what I was thinking.
@@amandabeaty1492 exactly! Some of the exact slang he was told lol
@@amandabeaty1492 Tom's from NL, too (St. John's, I think)
Having played with newfies in the last few winters here in AZ, this makes me miss those boys from away
Newfies in AZ?
Obscure hockey fact about this scene: the second Newfie is Terry Ryan; 8th overall pick in the '95 NHL Entry Draft who played 8 games for the Montreal Canadiens.
If you know hockey; you can just tell they've got the goods...:)
It's always a bummer when you got a guy who goes high in the draft, but then he never matures into an NHL-level chirper.
TR is so great in this scene! Can't wait to see him in Shoresy!
Is the dude on the right same guy who plays Hitchcock on shoresy
I'm addicted to this skit.
Success rate on the UA-cam auto-subtitle thing has never been lower
Honestly am surprised they even tried.
check out some clips from "Still Game". it fair struggles with the glesga.
My favorite part is how Fisky, known for statistics and clarity in his chirps, is just like “shut the... FU-“ Also Boomtown’s face after he can’t chirp.
Lol My great uncle used to tell stories about how brutal the chirps were when he played in Newfoundland 😂
@Dirk Diggler great name!
Who was your uncle?
I feel like you would be getting roasted and have no idea that you even were.
this was my favorite part of the season oh my god.
Stays where you’re at, I’ll come where you’re to....
Stay where yer to I'll come where yer at
Nothing but love for this scene.
I don't know much aboot Canada, but it's like their provinces are 12 separate countries. 🇨🇦
YaowBucketHEAD to be fair most of them are the size of European countries hahaha
Until some fuckers from elsewhere start causes problems... then we're all one big happy family.
Always you get more localisation with country folk and sportsmen.
To be faaaiiirrrr
@@kinghunter1996 to be faaaairrr
This is both hilarious and soothing at the same time
2 years later we learn Teddy is Ted Hitchcock, and he's billet bros with Shoresy! Somebody get this guy a martini!
Martoonie.
“12 inch cvnt”
been called worse
Martoonie me son
The first Newfie I met had a really thick accent, and it legitimately took me like three or four days of speaking to him frequently to consistently understand what the fuck he was saying.
if we could get a spinoff series with these two that would be just fine by me.
Terry Ryan is gonna be in the Shorsey spinoff, so you'll partially get your wish! He's a beauty! Lives down the road from me. His dad is the funniest guy you'll ever meet! Check out the chicklets episode where Biz comes here and visits him ;)
@@709mash Probably my favourite character on Shoresy!
Teddy & Tommy order dinner
These two just won the game. In all heads!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who recognized hitch.
Long may your big jib draw, boys
What an absolute beauty TR is
This is all hands me favorite clip from the whole lot. It’s fucking poetry.
It's like a Monty Python sketch
Andrew Younghusband is a Newfie I believe, and he doesn't like to use vowels very often when he speaks. He just goes: "Let's strrrt the crrr."
This is so close to perfect. Needed to be faster. It's literally our only skills, verbally beratting you with an onslaught of words you may or may not understand. Just needs a "mainlander" reference and it's perfect :P
Hilarious. Knows Teddy knows lol. This clip can put me in a good mood anytime
“roight *fousty* groupah comefrumawaes thare”
F'realsies buddy
You got a translation for that?
@@jamiesouthofboston2411 "right fousty (quite mouldy/smelly) group of come-from-aways (ie not from Newfoundland) there"
I'm a simple man. I see Chiclets and Tri-City Americans LEGEND Terry Ryan, I click.
The cadence is 1000% perfect.
Is that Terry Ryan?
Yes
Yup
Was wonderin who the other fellah is, looks pretty familiar too
Watching this with mudder. She says "Sure that's your cousin Terry".. Looked again.. sure enough.
"man I'm gut founded" I'ma use that one when I'm hungry.
Players: Where do you go for a good meal around here
Coach: back in fucking Newfoundland
I love how they managed to include every bit of slang from the Q interview, even "all hands throwin' hands"
The fact that Teddy and JJ Frankie JJ have made it into Shoresy's team is just right pretty, though.
It is amazing
Thanks for uploading I’ve been searching for this clip
" Knows Teddy, knows" 😂😂😂
At university I lived in a triplex with capers on one side and newfs on the other...what a treat those years were. 👌🏻
Capers?
@@mantislake4141 cape breton island nova scotia i'm imagining. those folks have insane accents too
@@zekeooo2 - though I did not know they had specific accents, Cape Breton was a guess. I visited NS in 2017 but didn't make it to CB. While in Truro I did meet 2 delightful women from Newfoundland who did sound a bit funny to my midwestern ears.
@@mantislake4141 Capers are Newfies on the way to TO but stopped there because they were having so much fun.
Got “sook” right quick, very common here in Aus
My buddy's a Newf and when he gets to drinkin, it's a whole new language. It's a joy to sit and watch!!
There's a beautiful stretch of road about 300 km long in Newfoundland called the Irish loop if you want to hear Irish accents take that trip stop and speak to the very fine folks along the way. love Newfoundland
Especially Calvert Ferryland area. I'm a townie and can't understand some of them LOL
I am Irish, and it sounded very Irish to me especially how quickly they speak.
@@Cybernetic800 Most of us have Irish roots. I have friends that went to Ireland and would be asked "what part of Ireland are ya from?" Some parts of NL have a very heavy Irish accent.
@@cornerboynl The sense of humour is so alike also. The show is fantastic!
My goodness this is top tier.
Reminds me of cha and miya.Cha and Miya were an irish comedy duo in the 70s and 80s ,who did sketches in the cork city accent and dialect and surprising they sounded a bit similar to these lads.
Catholic newfies tend to be Irish descended from the cork area, and Protestant newfies tend to english descended from the west country. Thier accents reflect it.
Stay where you're to I'll come where you're at
Went to St John's once, they really are cracked,
But funny cracked.
I need the bloopers of this scene
Seeing as my grand parents are Newfie. The first time i sat and listened to my grandpa, his cusion and my uncle get into a bottle of Crown abd after a few the full blown Newfie slang and accent came out, My reaction was the same as coaches at the end.. "HoLy Fuck!" 😆
Pretty sure the bender on the right is one, Terry foogin Ryan
Yep!
And Teddy Purcell!
@@Methodman27 teddy isn't in this?
Tales of a worst rounder
All hands, throwing hands
We Newfoundlanders love a good conversation and conversion, teaching mainlanders how to speak our way. I have a friend in Seattle that speaks better Newfie than any Canadian I know from off the Rock lol. It's only right they get a shaggin hockey team ffs.
I’m soo glad they brought back that Newfie back for shoresy
I understood just about everything except 0:01 - 2:00
jackjack121 lok yes
@majooismajor nope I understood none of it.
Hitch is such a fuckin beauty
Jesus b'ys this had me dead
Fellow by, what's goin on.
